Makurat Returning For Big East Tournament

[oldhusky]

I wonder if Anna's availability would allow Evina a break for the second game. Have Evina play the first and last, but skip the middle one to rest so she doesn't have to play back to back games.

Apologies to Mack the Knife, but Mak is back in town..

You are assuming UConn will win the first two games.

Like the rest of the Yard Family, I am so excited to read and hear that Anna is going be returning for the Big East Tournament!! So happy for Anna!!

 

[BostonBay]

Nice insurance for bad refs in the tourney who want to "control" the game - see Dee Kanter. Geno now has a deeper bench.

Anna Mak has hurried back ... more or less.

Great news! So happy to see Anna get a chance to help the team at this critical junction of the season. Obviously cleared by medical staff and approved by what Geno has seen in practice. I hope her time to sit and observe has served her well. Would love to see her not turning down an open shot to pass the ball one time too many. Possibly even drawing a foul, she has not seen the foul line once in the nine games played this season.
This is not meant as a backhanded compliment or snide yea OK. I really root for her but realize at the same time there is presently competition on the bench and much more coming in next year for PT. I hope she has a breakout game personally even if it's only 10 minutes.

I really believe if she (Anna) give short quality minutes, then Evina can go harder and get some breaks. Say 4-5 minutes per half if she blows up, leave her in a bit longer.

My first thought.

Ahh yea and your not???

Looking forward to the Mak Attack. Three games to shake cobwebs, then two weeks to prepare for Big Dance. Maybe we can make it a Polish polka.

It's great Anna is back but obviously she won't be in game shape but just to have her a few minutes to see the offense and passing and rebounding is got to be a plus..hopefully it wont take too long for her shot to come back

I still think the present game only. Being a former coach, I never look ahead.

Please can we think about tomorrow's game now? Is it too early?

"We've been waiting oh so long,
For your assists and too,
Now your leg is so much stronger,
We couldn't have waited any longer,

Anna, Anna, Anna Mak,
So glad you're coming back,
Please make us Champions.
Oh Anna, Anna, Anna Mak,
Make us Champions."

 

[Shenandoah]

I think that this is great, for her, the team, and the Husky faithful! I also think that it will give Paige a needed (and well deserved) short break in games. I (and my wife agrees) think that she (Paige) looked tired the last couple of games.

You certainly have a future in whatever it is you're doing now. The Brill Building is out of the question!

The Polish Rifle is back!!

If you're taking that route, I'd go with "Polish Pistol"
The alliteration makes her shot sound more deadly.

A Sharpshooter DOES NOT use a pistol!

 

[ed4ourgirls]

. . . I really like our chances going into the NCAAs. . . .

Gotta love your enthusiasm Tony.

Was there ever a time when you didn't like UConn's chances?
